Reply to comment by IncomingBlessings in New York lawmakers want to legalize DMT, psilocybin, and mescaline by Character_Mall_1966

Did this back in college about 20+ years ago. A whole lot of work for a little bit of reward.

Once you get good at it it should be very little effort for a lot of reward. You can grow an absolute ton of mushrooms in a couple of storage bins. Mushrooms on the east coast are stupid expensive for how easy they are to grow and the relative lack of risk (no smell, no grow lights, concealed grow containers).

plus you can choose the strain of mushroom which is really significant. I was pretty much not a fan of shrooms until I grew my own, they were less prolific and not as strong but they felt much more energetic

Homie you just didn’t do it right. I got plenty of reward in my days

It’s possible I didn’t do it right. My friend did the initial inoculation and first steps but left to study abroad. I did the second half.

Most certainly something to do your research on first

Shrooms grown with spores are occasionally mild, they're occasionally strong as fuck, and usually somewhere in between. (Not counting PE)

Pe don’t sporelate and can only inoculate from the fruit.

Also fwiw to these comments; it’s WAY easier to grow in bulk than small amounts and pounds can be harvested for under 20$ in materials once you’re up and running

Absolutely, except PE does sporelate it's just very light, and light colored. You need to swab the gills with a sterile cotton swab, which can be dabbed on an agar tray, but cloning is the best bet for a home cultivator. If they didn't sporelate you couldn't buy a PE spore syringe from a vendor. But yeah why grow brown rice cakes when you can grow tubs. I wouldn't say easier but as easy for sure yup.

It’s like 1 extra step to go from cakes to bulk. It was easier for me at least as I went straight to bulk when I farmed. When I wrote sporelate I was kinda implying the natural way when a fruit opens and they drop. Having to swab them isn’t really dropping spores imho. Plus if you’re already using agar you’d be better just taking a piece of fruit body vs a spore to stick w better genetics vs the unknown.

I could be wrong as it’s going back a few years but the pe syringes I used had chunks of fruits floating in them whereas other cube subspecies would have globs of spores.

But how did the mushrooms work out? 😏

I remember sitting in my friend’s dorm writing “I’m Mr DNA Man and I’ve come to steal your mind” then strolling to Irving Plaza to see Zap Mama and Talib Kweli. Good times. But a whole summer’s worth of work for one night for a friend and me.
